About the output format

When PDF is the right output

PDF is the universal fixed-layout document format — it renders identically across viewers, preserves fonts and formatting, and is the accepted-by-default format for invoices, contracts, government uploads, academic submissions, and portfolio work. Convert to PDF when the receiving system explicitly wants PDF or when the layout must not shift.

About the LIT Format

LIT is a proprietary ebook format developed by Microsoft for the Microsoft Reader application, first released in 2000. Based on a compressed HTML format derived from Microsoft's CHM (Compiled HTML Help) technology, LIT files supported ClearType font rendering, annotations, bookmarks, and text reflow. Microsoft integrated its own DRM system into the format to protect commercial ebook content purchased through retail partners.

Microsoft discontinued the Reader application and LIT format in 2012, making it a legacy format that is no longer supported by any actively maintained reading software. Ebooks purchased or created in LIT format can no longer be read natively on modern devices. Converting LIT files to EPUB, PDF, or MOBI is the only way to preserve access to these ebooks on current eReaders, tablets, and computers. DRM-free LIT files can be converted to modern formats, preserving text content, chapter structure, and basic formatting.

LIT to PDF FAQ

Quick answers about compatibility, quality, metadata handling, and the most common reasons to convert LIT files to PDF.

How to convert LIT ebook to PDF for printing

Upload your LIT ebook to iFormat and click Convert. It's laid out into a print-ready PDF with readable typography and preserved images — fixed pages that print predictably on any printer.

Why convert LIT to PDF?

PDF is best for sharing and printing with locked formatting — universal viewing and printing on any device. An LIT ebook reflows and needs an eReader app, while a PDF looks the same everywhere and prints cleanly.

Can I read the PDF on any device after converting from LIT?

Yes. Unlike LIT which needs a specific eReader app, PDF opens natively on every computer, tablet, and phone — no special software required. It's also the standard format for printing, archiving, and sharing.

Will images and chapters be kept converting LIT to PDF?

Yes. Images are preserved and chapters flow into a clean page structure, so the PDF reads and prints as a proper document.

Is there a file size limit for LIT to PDF conversion?

The free plan supports files up to 50 MB, which covers the large majority of LIT files. For longer or higher-resolution files, Starter raises the limit to 100 MB, Plus to 1 GB, and Pro to 5 GB.
